I have enough 1200 euros per month for everything, including a nice 2 bedroom apartment. I moved to Portugal from Russia and live in a town near Porto. The main thing to keep in mind is that it is very difficult to find a job here, so Portugal is ideal for those who work remotely. I stream on Twitch and make videos on YouTube. Kristin thanks for the video!

5000$ per month in Portugal? Only if you go out everynight, buy food for 20 persons and rent a house for >3000$

I have lived in Portugal for over 4 year's now...Explored almost every Nook and Cranny from Bragança to Tavira from Marvão to Ponta Delgada...I live in the Capital and it has everything I need in terms of Comfort item's and lifestyle...However in the near future I've set my site's on a few place's...I favor the North for it's greenery and hiking...Viana do Castelo and Ponte de Lima are high on my list for beauty and quality of life...In the central part of the country I dig Aveiro and also Viseu for larger cities and for more nature I love São Pedro do Sul...Closer to the Capital...Tomar is an Charming place and also anywhere in Costa da
Arrábida is awesome...Alentejo is often over looked for Algarve and it is my favorite in terms of nature and beaches...Evora is an awesome city and on the coast Vila Nova de Milfontes is my favorite coastal town...Boa Sorte!🇵🇹🤠🤟🤙🤘

5000 Dollars a month in Coimbra? You can rent a two bedroom apartment for 700€ per month. Even with utilities and groceries you won't get to 1500€ per month

I've spent a lot of time in Portugal and you are right, Portugal is beautiful. My general impression is it's more expensive than what I saw in this video. People are extremely friendly and highly educated. Most people, especially young people, are educated and can carry an intelligent conversation about what's happening throughout the world. Most speak at least three languages, Portuguese, Spanish and English. Beuatiful Country and people. The Country I would move to if I was to relocate anywhere! Porto would be my City. Beautiful river running through the City.

Spent 3 months in the Algarve in 2019-2020 just before the pandemic hit. Absolutely marvelous and stunning. Having traveled a lot throughout Europe, Central America and South America, this was absolutely the best of the bunch. Definitely considering retiring there.

As a Portuguese I’m very happy to see such a positive video about my country. I agree with almost everything you said. Ericeira is also my favorite spot. But as a someone who studied 5 years in Coimbra, I can tell you that 5000€ is HUGE amount of money for any Portuguese in almost any city. To give some perspective: minimum wage is around 600€. You can very easily live with 1200/1500€ per month in Coimbra and have a quite comfortable life. Other than that, very accurate video! Congratulations 👌🏻

Madeira is trending right now, with the best climate in all Portugal, nature a few steps and rocking fast internet with speeds of 500/1000 Mbps, and recently with the first nomad village in the country...

I hope Portugal is my first stop when we can travel again.

I live in Nazaré, it's my birthplace. This beautiful beach, is different from all the beaches in Portugal, for the costumes of the fishermen's women with seven skirts and for the surf of giant waves. It is only 1.15h from Lisbon.

[jacewheel]

The irony of my talking with friends about becoming an expat and juststarting to look at Portugal and boom. This video pops up 😆

[tonynogueira]

I Lived in Lisbon 7 years, it’s a beautiful city, lots of history, monuments, night life, beaches, and much more. Lisbon has it all, but it can get very busy and crowded, the traffic can be a nightmare. In addition to the 10 best places noted in this video, also consider Figueira da Foz near Coimbra, and Angra do Heroismo, the capital of Terceira island in Azores. I could go on, and on. I live in the US and can’t wait to retire to go to Portugal and explore more places, and possibly move to.

The quality of this Video is georgeous!!

[luisalmeida]

Porto... :)
Thank you for promoting our country! You're all welcome.

I've looked at Portugal and reviewed various towns and areas. Don't want to be on the Algarve, too touristy, and I don't need to be close to a beach. Lisbon is too populated, but would want a historic town, I found Elvas, which is a very much overlooked UNESCO town in far eastern Portugal, which has everything I'm looking for and lower costs than other areas.

[LGdosantos]

I was born in Lisbon Portugal, live in USA Today for 35 years, still have family there, I miss Portugal 🇵🇹

You can live pretty well in Coimbra for around 800-900 euros a month, you definitely don’t need 5k

Beautiful Portugal 🇵🇹, many thanks for sharing

[scottman]

Portugal is one of the countries I absolutely want to visit! I have heard a lot of great things about the Algarve especially with all the beautiful landscapes along the coast. Two of my friends moved to Lagos last year, and they absolutely love it! I haven't heard of Ericeira before, but it does look nice. Great video, Kristin!

[Securett-yebc]

We live in the Netherlands, and we have been thinking to move to another country. Portugal is one of the countries on our list. Thanks for this video.
